✈Antonov 124 at Sarajevo International Airport

One of the largest cargo aircraft in the world has landed
at Sarajevo Airport for a second day in a row. The aircraft delivered vehicles
and equipment for the United Kingdom Army to participate in the military action
"Quick Response 2017".

Antonov 124, the second largest aircraft in the world, is
a heavy-duty aircraft that can carry up to 150 tons of equipment, giving the
British Army the opportunity to deliver a large amount of cargo to Bosnia and
Herzegovina, if the Bosnian authorities
demand it.

The "Quick Response 2017" is an exercise in
peacekeeping operations under the direction of EUFOR. The exercise will be held
from October 11th to October 15th in Sarajevo, Pazaric and Kalinovik.

This will be the first time that Bosnia and Herzegovina
law enforcement agencies, Bosnia and Herzegovina Armed Forces and EUFOR are
trained together in a realistic scenario, in order to verify their plans for
crisis situations.
